page 2 WHAT’S ON HAVANA !
Cuba may not celebrate Labor Day to mark the end of summer but there is always time for one last party before school starts. In fact this August has seen more concerts, festivals and other events then I can remember. Event promoters, Saroa and Proyecto Analógica have taken the electronic dance music scene to a whole new level. Viva la Habana Fárandula.
While September may be a relatively quiet month in Cuba as Cubans get back to work, tourists largely steer clear of the muggy hurricane season and there are few prestigious cultural festivals, don’t make the mistake to assuming that there is nothing interesting happening this month.
Lovers of classical music shouldn’t miss the prestigious V Leo Brouwer classical music festival, (Sep 24th to Oct 13th). Elsewhere look out for the always-innovative modern dance Compañía Rosario Cárdenas performing Tributo a El Monte and the brilliant Monse Duany in Las lágrimas no hacen ruido al caer. And, between you and me, I am sure the texts announcing the next hip party will keep on coming!
We are delighted to welcome Christopher Baker onboard who takes us on a Sugar of a Journey on the anachronistic Hershey electric train. Welcome back to Conner Gorry with her authoriative Guide to the Havana Agro and a big thumbs up to Cuba Libro (Havana’s 1st English-Language Bookstore & Café), which a month in, is going strong.
We hope you enjoy this review. Any feedback and/or notices about events are always appreciated. You can contact us at [email protected]

Stainless,Sierra del Rosario art galleryThis creative group made up of artists Alejandro Piñeiro and Roberto Fabelo Hung, young graduates of the San Alejandro Fine Arts Academy, who go by the name of Stainless, exhibit a sample of their work at the brand new Sierra del Rosario art gallery. For the critic Nelson Herrera Ysla, "the results [of their work] are so attractive that the viewer is often tempted to touch the pieces and the materials used, and delight in them with both hands and eyes...They are artists of the here and now, situated amidst a changing Cuban reality, and who, free of prejudices, assume new languages or traditional ones from the extraordinary legacy of the 20th century.

While we have made a few suggestions and reviewed some of last month's best parties really you will simply have to keep your ear to the ground and try and get and get on the text list. We will post on our facebook page https://www.facebook.com/pages/Cuba-Absolutely/117958641550184 details when we have them.

This new jazz club has quickly established itself as one of the very best places to hear some of Cuba's best musicians jamming. Forget about smoke filled lounges, this is clean, bright – take the fags outside. While it is difficult to get the exact schedule and in any case expect a high level of improvisiation when it is good it is very good. A full house is something of a mixed house since on occasion you will feel like holding up your own silence please sign! Nonetheless it gets the thumbs up from us.

Back to school party at Jardines de la Tropical with Sarao by Sophia Beckman
If you want a high-octane party full of 'real' Cuban young people, then try and find out when the next Sarao party is. Sarao is the name for a Cuban party-promoting group who are currently putting together some of the best parties in Havana. My favorite during August was held at the Jardines de la Tropical and featured an energy and life hard to keep up with. Pulsating electronic dance music until the early hours of the following morning.
A number of producers and techno artists are responsible for the creation of Sarao. Dj Ra, originally a hip-hop artist who successfully transitioned to electronic music, was the mastermind behind the Sarao Project, which first saw the light at the Jardines de la Tropical in 2009. Other techno musicians involved in Sarao from its beginnings are Iván
